Latwogang Breaks Guinness World Record: 1.5M Peak Viewers & $69M Raised in Nine-Day Cancer Charity Stream

On April 26, 2026, Polish content creator Łatwogang concluded a nine-day non-stop livestream that shattered every record for charity fundraising in livestreaming history. Over 1.5 million people watched simultaneously at peak, and the total raised for the Cancer Fighters Foundation surpassed 250 million Polish złoty — more than $68.9 million USD (€59 million) — making it the largest charity livestream ever recorded.

How It All Started: A Song and a Promise

The story begins with an 11-year-old girl named Maja Mecan from Oława, who has been battling acute myeloid leukemia for nearly three years. Together with Polish rapper Bedoes 2115, Maja recorded a track called Ciągle tutaj jestem (diss na raka) — "I'm Still Here (A Diss Track Against Cancer)" — with all royalties directed to the Cancer Fighters Foundation.

The song went viral. Łatwogang — real name Patryk Garkowski, a 23-year-old from Warsaw with 2.4 million TikTok followers — announced a wild challenge: for every like on his TikTok announcement video, he would listen to the song for one second on stream. The video received over 767,000 likes. The math was simple and absurd: nine straight days of non-stop livestreaming. The original fundraising goal was 500,000 złoty. That target fell almost instantly.

Record After Record: The Numbers Tell the Story

The stream launched on April 17, 2026, from Łatwogang's apartment in Radom, Poland. What followed was 179 hours and 25 minutes of milestone after milestone. Donation counters that seemed impossible were crossed, then forgotten as the next goal appeared. At its peak, the stream attracted 1,577,039 concurrent viewers on YouTube — a figure reported by Streams Charts that places it among the most-watched livestreams in platform history.

Every new threshold unlocked a new challenge or a celebrity moment. By the time the stream concluded, Poland had raised over 250 million złoty ($68.9M+ / €59M) with zero commission deducted — every złoty going directly to the Cancer Fighters Foundation.

The Guinness Record Falls — Twice

The campaign first surpassed the Guinness World Record previously held by MrBeast and xQc, whose Team Water campaign in August 2025 raised over $12 million in a 15-hour stream. Łatwogang crossed that figure within days. Then came the second milestone: surpassing the French Z Event 2025, where 325 streamers raised approximately €16.2 million over four days.

"We, as Poles, have officially broken the Guinness record when converted into złoty," Łatwogang announced live on stream. "This is the biggest charity livestream in the history of the world. We have shown that no one in the world has been able to unite like this." The stream then continued to shatter its own record with every passing hour.

Celebrity Moments That Defined the Marathon

The nine days became a who's who of Polish public life. Robert Lewandowski — one of the world's most recognizable footballers — appeared on stream and returned to TikTok specifically to support the campaign. His wife Anna Lewandowska performed the viral "six seven" trend live on stream. Rapper Bedoes 2115, who co-wrote the song with Maja, personally donated over 1,000,000 złoty.

Head-shaving became the defining visual ritual of the stream. Actress Edyta Pazura pledged to shave her head once donations hit 50 million złoty — and her husband, beloved actor Cezary Pazura, was the one holding the razor. Streamer Kasix, who survived a stroke at 25, had grown her hair for five years before shaving it at the 13 million złoty milestone. Fashion blogger Maffashion joined remotely from Marbella and shaved her head live once the counter crossed 46.25 million złoty.

Polish pop culture feuds were publicly resolved. Doda called Magda Gessler live and reconciled after years of public tension. Sylwester Wardęga made peace with Wersow and Friz — Weronika and Karol Wiśniewski — closing what had been the longest-running conflict in the Polish creator scene. To seal it, Wersow shaved Wardęga's head on camera.

MMA champion Jan Błachowicz stopped by alongside Fagata and donated his official UFC fight gloves to the auction. Rapper Szpaku performed an intimate concert, bringing a young Cancer Fighters Foundation patient — a huge fan — on stage to sing along.

The night before his tragic death, Polish MP Łukasz Litewka took part in the broadcast. It was likely one of his last public appearances on record.

Why This Stream Changed Livestreaming History

What Comes Next

Following the conclusion of the stream, an auction began featuring items collected throughout the campaign — including a signed Robert Lewandowski jersey, an original Dennis Rodman NBA jersey signed by the player himself, and dozens of other celebrity-donated pieces. All proceeds continue to benefit the Cancer Fighters Foundation. Donations remain open via siepomaga.pl/latwogang.

What Łatwogang and Bedoes 2115 built in nine days around a song recorded by an 11-year-old girl will likely define the standards for charity livestreaming — not just in Poland, but globally — for years to come.
